I am a full-fledged blogger! For my literacy project, I used Kidblog to create a class blog to use with my fourth graders. I began the project by discussing blogging with my students. Many of them already comment to each other using online tools, but having a class blog seems new to them. I decided that for now, I will pose a question of the week. For my first question, I asked my students to write about their favorite animal and practice posting it to their blogs. Each student posted on his or her own blog page. I am excited to get my students more involved in blogging, and they are beyond thrilled. My next steps for my students are to teach them how to add pictures and videos to their posts, as well as comment on each others' posts.

My First Voki!
Voki has been a fun tool to learn to use, and I know my students are going to love it when I share it with them. This course has been so useful to me as a fourth grade teacher. My students absolutely love anything that has to do with technology, and they are really enjoying using the tools I have introduced. Many of my students have created extra credit projects at home using Glogster, and I introduced my classroom blog today. My students are excited about these new opportunities for sharing their personal ideas and things they have learned.
